11/13/12 36w4d preggers!

So happy that I am in the last stretch of the pregnancy! I can't believe I am 9 months already! Baby boy moves alot now... just rolls and nudges though, no room for kicks anymore. Still going to the Dr. once a week on Wednesday and last week I got checked for dilation and thinning. Dr. says I am very soft and cervix is very high so it's thinning out, but not quite dilated. My fundal height measures 2 weeks ahead but it's still in the normal range. I went to the high risk Dr. yesterday to check up on his weight cause of the gestational diabetes. At 36 1/2 weeks, baby boy weighs approximately 6 pounds :D. Dr didn't say if that was big for his gestational age, so I am assuming it's normal. He still recommends that I check my sugar at least 3 times a day, but honestly I haven't checked it in over a week! I just get tired of pricking my finger 4 times a day, my finger tips are bruising and it's kinda inconvenient especially when I am not home I have to drop whatever I'm doing and take my sugar.
Got everything ready for the baby's arrival. Got my hospital bag packed except for some last minute items like my phone charger. Got the car seat installed and the diaper bag packed. I know that the hospital will supply most of what I need while I'm there such as diapers and stuff, but I am taking my diaper bag so I can take some of the hospital things home lol. The crib is up and is stocked with sheets and blankets and the changing table is stocked with diapers and wipes. So now it's just having to wait and wait.... and wait. I keep having dreams of what he will look like, but I know when he is actually here he probably won't look anything like in my dreams, but that's ok I know he will be beautiful anyways. So I guess this is all for now. Everybody take care!
